The Unemployment Chronicles - Ep 2

Providence in the Pain

God’s purposes in our painful situations are often beyond our comprehension. But they are never out of God’s control, and they always serve a purpose. It is for the glory of God.

Today, we take a look at how the Bible says we should view suffering. Our teaching is from John 11.

John 11:20-22 (ESV) 20 So when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, but Mary remained seated in the house. 21 Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died. 22 But even now I know that whatever you ask from God, God will give you.”
